Can anyone tell me when sleeping on your side if your head slides back into the center of the pillow and if it does- does it affect your neck pain?

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

I don't sleep with this pillow, I tried it one night and didn't sleep at all.I orignally ordered it for my husband along with another pillow and he chose the other one.

I'm a side-sleeper and this pillow has been great. My head doesn't slide into the center, but when you roll over in the night if you're on your back for awhile, your head will go into the indent which puts your neck at the right angle. Then if you roll onto your other side, the size of the pillow naturally puts your head back up on the other elevated side so your neck is straight again. I've been using these for over 3 years now and I even pack it in my suitcase when I travel because any other pillows give me neck aches.

The roll is the only part under your neck if you are a back sleeper. It only works for me when placed over a regular pillow otherwise it does not support the neck.

I have arthritis in my neck and suffered incredible neck pain & severe headaches. I purchased the Tri-Core, Standard regular size pillow. It took about a week for my body to adjust to it and now I rarely wake up with the pain. Hope it works for you.

It's a bit on the "firm" side at first, but over time it softens up, but not too soft, and is the BEST PILLOW for me as I have major neck issues to the point that I wake up with a SEVERE MIGRAINE if my neck is out and I have gone through 15 different pillows ranging from other memory foam pillows, down pillows, you name I tried it and this pillow I finally found. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pillow!!!! Thank you!!!!

I'm not sure. I would think it might help with the neck pain... But I mostly don't feel much on my neck while using the pillow. I mostly use the pillow for my head and shoulders. It seems to help.

Not so far. I think I've had th e pillow for about 4 months. Every once and awhile my neck is alittle stiff,but I'm sleeping so well,I thought maybe I wasn't turning enough ?

I haven't had my pillow for very long but I am very happy with it. I have fewer headaches, and it does seem to be cooler than other pillows. This pillow was recommended to me by a couple who claimed a much better sleep with less snoring and headaches. Hope that helps.

Sure. I also sleep on my side and use a soft pillow (though - not down). The wedge isn't that long - it covers from the top of my head to my shoulders (approximately).

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.

When I lay on this pillow on my back, the back of my head touches it and the back/top of my shoulders touch the bottom edge. It's too firm to allow it to also shape to my neck so my neck has no support the way I like. You can "scrunch" at it to make it better but that only works if you're awake so I often wake with a bit of a stiff neck with this pillow. I save it for support when laying on the sofa or in bed when I read or watch television.

Side and back sleeping was the only way this pillow felt comfortable for me. However, I sleep on my stomach and it is not good for that position

I rarely find myself on my back when I am sleeping. When I do I have problems with my cpap mask leaking which usually wakes me up. That is no fault of the pillow and others may not have that problem. I have used mine every night and so far it has held its shape really well.

If you don't tend to move much at all during the night any pillow tends to hurt. When this is still new and too firm it might. I rarely hurt with this pillow. But I've hurt with all kinds if I don't move much one night. I also am a side sleeper. I do move back and forth through the night. So ear pain is not as common to me.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

I find it most comfortable for sleeping on your back (head tilted R or L occasionally). After some time, I push it aside and sleep on my side on the traditional pillow that was underneath.

You use the "sides" for sleeping on your side. I can only do this sparingly given prior neck surgery, but it seems to work for my short times
